SAN JOSE, USA: PLDA, the industry leader in PCI Express, USB 3.0, and high speed interface IP, announced QuickPCIe - the industry’s most advanced PCI Express interface IP solution featuring a high performance configurable DMA. QuickPCIe is a revolutionary breakthrough in IP integration, standardizing on the AMBA AXI open interconnect protocol to provide a unified and scalable interface to user logic.

The AMBA AXI4 protocol is the latest generation and highest performance on-chip interconnect open standard for the connection of functional blocks in a System-on-Chip (SoC).The integration of a scalable PCI Express interface IP and a high-performance AXI4 based DMA engine enables ease of development of complex FPGA designs with stringent performance requirements.

According to Stephane Hauradou, PLDA’s CTO: “QuickPCIe is a real advantage to our customers who require a PCI Express interface that is both robust and easy to implement. The combination of a hard or soft PCI Express IP with advanced DMA capability and a standardized user interface significantly accelerates time to market and encourages IP reuse.”
